The group matches of the UEFA champions league came to a remarkable end that decisively saw 8 teams being dropped from European competition, 8 teams relegated to play in the Europa League and more importantly, leaving 16 teams to feature in the first round knock out phase.

Knee ligament damage – Common Sports Injuries – Jimmy Bullard’s Injury

Jimmy Bullard’s latest injury setback will keep him out for just six to eight weeks – far less than had been initially feared after the Hull midfielder limped out of the weekend clash with Aston Villa.

But the good news as far as Tigers fans are concerned is that their influential midfielder has only sprained his knee on this occasion and hasn’t damaged the...
